Supreme Court Rejects Roving License to Detain People Incident to Far-Away Search
Ilya Shapiro While the Fourth Amendment may not have passed the smell test in one Supreme Court ruling yesterday – which problem would effectively go away if we ended the Drug War – it handily survived questionable police tactics in a far more important case, Bailey v. United States.   In Bailey, the Court rejected the argument that police should be able to detain someone anywhere at any time if they see that person exiting a location for which there’s a valid search warrant.  Instead, by a 6-3 vote in an opinion written by Justice Anthony Kennedy, the Court ruled that the power ...

Vascular Solutions Inc. and its CEO Charged with Selling Unapproved Varicose Vein Devices and "Conspiring to Defraud"
Last month, the Department of Justice filed an indictment charging Vascular Solutions Inc. and its chief executive officer, Howard Root, with selling medical devices without FDA-approval and “conspiring to defraud the United States by concealing the illegal sales activity.” The devices at issue are from the company’s “Vari-Lase” therapies, which are designed to treat varicose veins. According to the indictment, the Vari-Lase products were cleared by the FDA only for the treatment of surface, or superficial, leg veins. DOJ alleges that Mr. Root and Vascular Solutions marketed and sold them instead for the “ablat...

Cato Files Brief Challenging Qualified Immunity for Warrantless Strip Search of 4-Year-Old
For over a year, Cato has been leading the charge to challenge the doctrine ofqualified immunity:  an atextual, ahistorical doctrine invented by the Supreme Court in the 1960s, which shields government agents from liability for misconduct – even when they break the law. Today marks a huge milestone in that ongoing campaign, as Cato has just filed an amicus brief in support of anew cert petition calling on the Court to reconsider this doctrine. So has adiverse, cross-ideological alliance of over a dozen prominent public interest groups, as well a group of leading qualified immunity scholars. In the words of Wyatt Earp: ...

‘The Worst Thing I’ve Ever Seen.’ Time Is Running Out In the Search for Survivors of Mexico Quake
(MEXICO CITY) — Search teams are still digging in dangerous piles of rubble hoping against the odds to find survivors at collapsed buildings, while officials say they have so far cleared only 103 of Mexico City’s nearly 9,000 schools to reopen Monday. The need to inspect 98% of the capital’s public and private schools nearly a week after a magnitude 7.1 earthquake killed at least 182 people in the city and 138 in nearby states was a stark indicator of just how long the path back to normalcy will be. Federal Education Secretary Aurelio Nuno said Sunday that it could take a couple more weeks to inspect all ...
